Property Description
Set on a gentle rise across 4.5 acres, this Elgin property offers privacy, open skies, and space that's increasingly hard to find. The land sits slightly higher than the surrounding area, with large neighboring tracts that create a true sense of separation and no close neighbors in sight, just room to breathe. The views offer regular sightings of local wildlife that make the setting feel peaceful and alive. The home is a thoughtfully laid out 3 bedroom, 2 bath residence with 1,048 square feet that lives efficiently and comfortably. Natural light fills the interior, while the surrounding landscape becomes part of the everyday experience. Designed with functionality in mind, the property includes an oversized two-horse barn with power and water hookup capability. The fully fenced property is thoughtfully divided into three distinct sections: a smaller enclosed area well suited for dogs, goats, or hobby livestock; a central homestead area with the residence, oversized garage, two-horse barn, and additional shed; and a separate fenced grazing paddock previously used for horses. The layout offers excellent flexibility for rotational grazing, gardens, or future expansion. The oversized detached three-car garage added in 2024 provides ample space for vehicles, equipment, tack, or a workshop setup. Located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Bastrop and about 40 minutes from Austin, this property offers a rare balance of privacy, land, and accessibility. Whether your vision includes horses, other animals, or simply wide-open space with long-term flexibility, this is a setting that supports it all.
